The origins of this group go back to 2002 when three ex-planters and former stalwarts of the District – Harin de Costa, Randy Mcleod & Devaka Wickramasuriya – decided to have a re-union of all their colleagues who were in the district between the years 1974 & 1985. This re-union was a resounding success resulting in the creation of the “Association of Ex Planters of Maskeliya”.
